After owning and operating a successful business, Beresford began racing later than most drivers. Starting in 2001, Beresford first got behind the wheel, driving a Formula Vee in CASC Ontario Regional competition. Following a test in a Formula Continental car, Beresford bought a FC car and contested the entire CASC Ontario Regional Formula Libre Championship with Brian Graham Racing. Impressed with the new Formula Ford Zetec package, Beresford purchased a car prior to the 2003 season to run in the Formula Libre Championship.

The following year, Beresford once again contested the entire CASC Ontario Region Formula Libre Championship, as well as selected SCCA Club Racing events in the United States. In Formula Libre competition, Beresford drove a Formula Ford Zetec car until late August, when he purchased a new Star Mazda car and began racing it. Winning one race, Beresford finished second in the championship.

Over the past two seasons the Kitchener-Waterloo native has continued to race in the CASC Ontario Region Formula Libre Championship winning several numerous races and capturing one championship title. This coming season, Beresford will commence a new motorsports challenge, driving a Van Diemen RF00 FF1600 in the highly competitive Ontario Formula Ford Challenge.
